How We Travel
Our groups are composed of no more than 18 participants plus a CTB DMC Latin America tour guide. With CTB DMC Latin America you can do more and see more at an easier pace, enjoy the peace and quiet of that special place you’ve always dreamed of and listen to the local guide!
Spontaneity, flexibility, organization, efficient time management; all are integral aspects of the tour. Each of our itineraries undergoes careful scrutiny during preparation, ensuring maximum detail, accuracy and the right pace for each trip. With small group travel, it is easier to venture “off the beaten path” or visit interesting places while traveling by special means; activities that will only enrich your travel experience.
Modules’ are segments, usually of a week’s duration, into which our tours can be divided. It works well for regional tours, where each region represents a week-long module: take one at a time, join them, hop on, hop off, the combinations are virtually endless! This system offers great flexibility for travelers who want an element of customization in their trip planning. It also allows us to offer a wider range of tour lengths and content.
Our professionally guided tours include shared accommodation in three- and four-star hotels. Two meals per day, breakfast and dinner, are provided on all tours; some tours include some lunches. All transportation during the tour is included, in addition to entrance/visit fees as specified in our day-by-day itineraries. Porterage service is also included, when available. Arrival/departure transfers are included for all clients, however consider details stated on each individual tour.
Our clients are unique individuals: singles, couples or friends who are interesting, curious, active and often well-traveled. Although some of our advertising includes references to ‘senior tours’, this does not mean that our itineraries are slowed down in any way.
Our tours are open to adults of all ages, especially those who are attracted to our programs and the ability to move around a lot, efficiently and nimbly, in a small group of adventurers. who like to be ‘on the move’. As such, all travelers over the age of 65, or those booked on active or high altitude trips, are asked to complete a simple self-assessment form to ensure their suitability.
If you are traveling alone, our guaranteed “shared program” saves you money as long as you don’t mind sharing a room (some tours have mandatory single supplements due to certain destinations charging high rates for single rooms).
Although family groups (minimum 12 years old) are welcome to join most of our tours. If you have something slightly or drastically different in mind, let us know what you are thinking; we can then customize tours for your club, group, company, extended family or class reunion.
The vast majority of our lodging options worldwide reflect our clients’ desire for clean, well-located, three- and four-star properties with private baths. In the event that such accommodations are not available, for reasons such as our tourism activities or location, we find suitable alternatives. Although all our accommodations are carefully chosen.
